PLEASANT WORLD OF BOOKS
here are those who find their happiness in
strolling near and far
As if perchance their birth had been be
neath some errant star
The trackless desert beckons them they
scale the mountain peak
And ever just beyond them see some glad
ness coy to seek
Por me I sit beside my Are and with be-
nignant looks
From dear familiar shelves they smile my
pleasant f riends the books
A world of sweetest company these well-
beloved ones wait
For any mood for any hour they keep a
courteous state
Serene and unperturbed amid the ruffles of
my day
They are the bread my spirit craves they
bless my toiling way
A pleasant world is theirs wherein though
battles wax and wane
There rolls the sound of triumph and there
dwells surcease of pain
On pages sparkling as the dawn forever
breathes and glows
Through ages red with patriot blood white
In
freedoms
stainless rose
this fair world of calmest skies I meet
the martyrs palm
There float to it dear melodies from coasts
of heavenly balm
All comfort here all strength all faith
all bloom of wisdom lives
And be the days need what it may some
boon this wide world gives
The freedom of the city where one walks in
crowds alone
The silence of the upland where one climbs
anear the throne
The blitheness of the morning and the
solemn hush of night
Are in this pleasant world of books for one
who reads aright
Here pure and sharp the pictured spire its
cleaving point uplifts
There swept by stormy winds of fate
times sands are tossed in drifts
And I who sit beside the fire am heir of
time and sense
My book to me the angel of Gods sleep
less providence
Who will may choose to wander far over
sea and land
Por me the table and the lamp extend a
friendlier hand
And I am blessed beyond compare while
with benignant looks
Prom homes familiar shelves they smile
my pleasant world of books

A SYNDICATE OF THREE
BY LEWIS MASON

the gTeat mutiny broke out
WHEN
there was no end to the princes
and nabobs in India and without ex
ception all were rich The Honoralble
Hast India company had forcibly de
posed some from power and had bought
off others but from highest to lowest
they still had their palaces and retinues
-and retainers A few of these poten
tates threw their fortunes with the Brit
ish but the great majority cast their
Hot with the rebels or affected a
almost as dangerous No douibt
rmany of them sacrificed all their wealth
-to help along the cause Ibut there were
others who transferred their treasure
to safe places and let it remain in con
cealment until long after peace had
been proclaimed Under a military
edict all hidden property became loot
for the soldiers and scores of them
were enriched by their findings
It was ten years after the close of the
war that I landed in Delhi and the
search for hidden treasure had long
been given up in that district I had a
h umber of friends among the English
officers in the Tenth native infantry
and one night as I sat smoking with
Maj Trainor in liis quarters he sudden
ly turned on ine and said
You saw me in the bazaar to day
talking with a native
Yes
That man was for a year or so in
command of the 400 soldiers in the
retinue of the nabob of Jumna as he
tailed himself The place stood over in
the hills and the nabob leaned towards
our side for a few weeks that is until
lie got his treasure safely away Then
lie went over to the rebels bag and bag
page Tout he made a mess of it Inside
of three months he was killed and his
force scattered and a dozjan of his fol
lowers who found -their way back after
peace was proclaimed were hung in
short order This man whom we used
to call Col Bounce arrived here only
to day and do you know I believe he
has an eye on that treasure He insists
that I am mistaken in his identity and
that he was never in this part of the
country before but I know I am right
What do you propose I asked
4That we find the treasure ourselves
You were going up the country Just
settle down here for three months and
Ill make a millionaire of you The na
bob of Jumna was not as rich as some
but his treasure house held a kings
ransom As things are dull now I can
get a leave of absence for three months
Capt Gordon can do the same AVe three
will then form a treasure-hunting
syndicate and if you dont wear
some of the dead nabobs rubies and
diamonds out of India Im no prophet
Capt Gordon was called in and
the syndicate duly organized Unlike
most other syndicates little or no capi
tal was needed for it The major was
satisfied that the native had returned
-with but one object in view The first
idea was to arrest him and frighten
liim into giving up the secret This
could probably have been done five
years earlier as the British did not
stick at trifles when a prisoner was ob
durate but the days had gone by when
-a confession might be forced It was
sfinall decided to leave- him at liberty
and watch his every movement and
rthis plan wTas set in motion the next
-mornings
Capt Gordon had a Ceylonese servant
-
looking after things this fellow was
given orders to find fCol Bounce and
stick to him Inside of half a day he
reported that he had picked up his man
and we felt quite certain that within a
weelc we should know more about the
treasure
We missed it by not rating the
colonel high enough He didnt look
overintelligent but we had a fox to
deal with He loafed for about a week
spoke freely of his past to thecaptains
servant and finally sought and ob
tained employment with anative jewel
er As soon as he had done this we
three packed off to the hills leaving the
servant on watch The nabobs palace
had been blown up and was a mass of
ruins but wTe were not at all interested
in that direction The place had been
explored again and again and without
luck We had to do some figuring and
then regulate our movements accord
ingly First we took it for granted
that the nabob had run off his treas
ure In so doing ha would have to take
at least half a dozen men into his con
fidence As commander of his forces
Col Bounce would certainly be
one The wealth had not been taken to
the city nor had it been turned over
to anyone for safe keeping It had
certainly been buried somewhere and
the hills offered many advantages over
the open ground It was more than
even chances that the treasure had been
Lwalled up in a cave or cavity of some
sort and that within six or eight miles
of the palace
As a beginning to active operations
we drew a map of the locality and di
vided it off with lines radiating like
the spokes of a wheel the ruins being
the hub Each man was to take a line
and follow it by compass a distance of
six miles then cross to another and
return to the hub As the lines were
only ten rods apart according to our
scale it would be easy to inspect every
foot of the ground passed over There
wrere days when the heat was too great
to move and at the end of three weeks
we had finished only a quarter of the
work It was then decided to changer
the plan and let each man search as
he would but a fourth week passed
and we were just where we were at the
start
We would have given up now but for
a flying visit from the captains man
who reported that Col Bounce
had quit the place and left the city
He had purchased a horsq and a quanti
ty of provisions and there was reason
to believe that he would show up in the
hills and seek the treasure cave We at
once moved our camp and set a wateh
for the man Two days later he showed
up and went into camp about a mile
away He had no reason to suspect our
presence as we were supposed to have
gone north for tigers but he was plajr
ing for a big stake and wouldi take no
chances Our men had an eye on him
day and night for ten days before he
moved To some root hunters he ex-
plained that he was campingout for his
health and he did little but sleep and
eat We had to hang about the camp to
be ready to take up his trail and the call
came at an unexpected hour One night
who had often shown his smartness in I we took up what to be his

trail of the previous night We had
not yet searched in that direction Alter
going half a mile we dropped into a
ravine and as I made a slip and threw
out a hand and clutched a bush there
was a rattle of iron against stone In
another minute I had drawn out a short
crowbar and then we felt certain that
the cave was in the ravine This was
what our spy had taken for a stick and
it had been brought along to work a
masonry
It was the major who found the cave
and it was his broken leg that lost us
the treasure As we walked down the
ravine carefully scanning the rocky
walls he slipped on a wet stone and
pitehed forward against a bush The
bush was uprooted and he swayed and
fell and his first cry was that the cave
was behind it So it was A stone
which must have required the services
of six or eight men to lift had been
cemented into the mouth of a cave of
some sort and but for the bush the
seams would have been plain to any
eye on the lookout So anxious was
the injured man to learn the contents
of the cave that he insisted on our be
ginning work at once This we would
not hear to and maldng a rude litter
we bore him back to camp Then I set
out for Delhi and a surgeon and it was
midafternoon before we landed our
patient in the hospital
Then Capt Gordon and I made all
speed back to camp and the cave His
horse had been left there but was miss
ing as was also some bedding and pro
visions We made for the cave on a
run fearing the worst and neither of
and the circle is now felicitating it
self that the battle is won The con
gregation at least the male members
take very kindly to the innovation

a few hours he learned that his trusted
servant had been working in concert
with Col Bounce He had watched
us as well as him and on the way to
town he had retracted his charge and
the pair had been kicked and set o t
liberty The Ceylonese had fitted him
self out at his masters expense and
though the pursuit of him was long and
expensive he was never captured What
the amount of the treasure was we could
only guess but with the breaking of the

REMOVE HATS IN CHURCH
Organization Formed at Indianapolis
Accomplishes Its Purpose
The other Sunday the womens circle
of the First Baptist church of Indian
apolis Ind attempted an innovation
by uncovering their beads during reli
gious services but only a few respond
ed and it was spitefully said that those
who had elaborate and costly exhibits
of the milliners art treated- the re
quest with contempt The next Sunday
the womens circle won a notable vic
tory Much proselyting was evidently
done during the week for as each lady
entered her pew she carefully removed

THERE WAS A RATTLE OF IRON AGAINST STONE

followed by members of the church not
members of the circle and a number of
nonmembers also took off their hats

at midnight he rose up and started f bership bf the circle failed to respond
off along the hills to the north carry
ing in his hand what our men took to
be a stick Instead of following his
man the spy came to arouse us and of
course we realized that it was no use
searching in the darkness
Something came of the movement
h o wever The spy hastened back to find
the man just returning His walk had
lasted while the other had run four
miles and talked with us for five min
utes That would mean not much more
than a mile out He had no stick in his
hand on returning and was evidently
much elated over something The spy
saw him take from his luggage a stout
English satchel and carefully inspect
it two or three times he rose up and
seemed on the pojnt of leaving camp
again He slept no more that night but
walked about uneasily and when the
report was made to us Ave knew that
he had found the cave and was about
ready to appropriate the contents He
must be got rid of for a day at least
and if he had not overreached us in the
end I should blush with shame over
the job we put up
The captains man was instructed to
watch for the patrol on the highway at
the foot of the hills and to report that
Col Bounce had conspired with him
to burn a public building in the city
This plan was carried out and the
Colonel was arrested and taken to
town he was only well away when

BEYOND ARGUMENT
Felt Convinced There Whb Only
One Thing to Do
Have you any thingto do asked the
attache of the f reighfyard of the man
wno had lounged in with his hands in
his pockets
hNo
iWant anything to do
No But I want the money and I
suppose Ill have to do soinetEing to
get that
Youre a workingman arent you
Yes
Well dont you think it would be a
good idea- for you to step around and
do something without thinking so
much about money just for the sake
of advertising your business People
might get the impression that youre
a millionaire an be afraid to apply for
your services
Look here mister I dont want any
advice Im just beginning to get
straightened out from the last advice
I took Ive been getting the worst of
it for years and simply because I lis
tened respectfully and took things for
granted I dont say that Ive been
swindled by capitalists but I do say
that it was underhanded to take ad
vantage of my carelessness the way
they did
Where did you come from
Chicago
Didnt they pay your wages there
Yes they paid my wages all right
They didnt want to excite any sus
picion so they gave all the men their
money every salary day That was
simply to keep them from suspecting
anything
Were you overworked
No I didnt have any more to dc
than I could attend to with comfort
But its the principle of the thing that
I am thinking about I dont like to be
deceived I wouldnt have known any
thing about it if a friend of mine who
was out on a strike hadnt come and
explained it to me
What was it he told you
He exposed the way I had been mis
led with a whole lot of others If I had
my way thered be a boycott declared
against the newspapers for starting
the cry Go west young man There
isnt anybody that can convince me it
wasnt a put up job to get something
for nothing The friend of mine who
is but on a strike sat down and figurod
it out and showed me that when its
noon in Washington its only 11 oclock
inJ the morning at Chicago I aint one
of the dilly dallying kind I didnt have
any words but soon as I found that out
I went to the boss got the pay that was
coming to me and came straight to
Washington where quitting time comes
exactly one hour sooner everj day

Dainty Wraps
Summer wraps have a variety in form
this season which ought to furnish a
suitable model for every style of figure
but making a satisfactory selection
seems to be quite as difficult as ever
There are round capes ruffled with silk
lace and chiffon mantles pelerines
and mantillas coats and jackets of every
imaginable shape but the dominant
style in London is a cloze short jacket
with cape sleeves The French gar
ment of this kind is loose yet cut to
reveal the lines of the figure and hand
somely embroidered with gold It is
Sten fastened at one side like the fash
onaible bodice and the cape sleeves are
of lace with loops of satin ribbon
Bound short capes of black taffeta
covered with hemmed or pink ruffles
of the same silk are very much worn
and do not require an expert hand to
make them Pretty capes too are
made with a deep square yoke of jetted
satire and wide knitted ruffles of black
chiffon or lace on the edge Little os
trich tips are used in the ruff of the
neck which is very full and wider at
jjthe back than in front Ruffles of black
Shiffon covering a taffeta foundation
make a pretty wrap with knots of
black satin for a finish iN 1 rosx

CAN WOVE ANYTHING
Marvelous Feats of the Modern
Methods of Pushing
There are certain men working quiet
ly in various parts of the United States
who could if they chose to do it move
the Pyramids pick up the Egyptian
obelisks or lift a modern skyscraper
from its caisson bed and carry it across
the street There are not many such
men yet few if any ponderous objects
exist in the world which they will not
attempt to move intact for a considera
tion In the directory these men are
called house movers but they are en
titled to a designation of far greater
dignity for some of their achievements
arenumbered amongthe great engineer
ing feats of the world Within the past
few months the house movers have ex
perienced an unwonted activity Some
really creditable and in some cases stu
pendous feats have been performed
The moving of Lovering hall at Johns
Hopkins university was one of these
feats the moving of an upper Ifew York
house 1 blocks along the public high
way was another and the very recent
moving and resetting of a tall smoke
stack at Manhanset was a third
One of these house movers declares
that there is no building however
heavy however bulky which cannot b
lifted from its foundations and con
veyed any distance This means of
course without any damage to the
building itself that the very ornaments
on the mantel pieces the in
the cabinets will in no way be disturbedj
that the window glass will not be even
cracked that the home life of the fam
ily occupying the moving house will be
undisturbed Such is absolutely the
fact It is not necessary for the occu
pants -of the building to temporarily
change their quarters to take the cas
tors off the bedsteads nor to pack up
all the perishable articles in the house
It is on record that an old tall clock
which was in a house which was moved
in Westchester county 1 Y never
stopped running all during the
progress of removal On the other
hand there seems to be no limit to the
movers capabilities as far as weight is
concerned The Brighton Beach hotel
which was placed on 150 flat cars and
moved GOO feet weighed 5000 tons The
weight of the recently moved railroad
station at Mott Haven N Y is 700
tons This building was composed en
tirely of brick and stone and the weight
is very unequally distributed a central
tower alone weighing 500 tons To be
frank these feats take all of the won
derment out of the raising of the pyra
mids and obelisks inasmuch as the most
primitive tools are used bj the engi

HARNESSING THE TIDES
One Instance in Which the Power
Has Been Applied
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides but the intermittent
character of the power haa usually pre
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem There is however one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successf uJly applied in a very sim
ple manner Along the river front at
Liverpool there is a tendency for the
accumulation of silt against the dock
walls requiring occasional dredging
for its removal Instead of using scoop
dredges this mud is removed at dif
ferent periods toy the use of tide power
in the following manner Along the
base of the dock wall is laid a pipe per
forated with holes directed outward
this pipe being connected with the in
terior of the dock system and suitable
valves being provided to permit or
check the flow of water When the
tide is very low and consequently the
head of water measured from the sur
face in the docks is at its greatest a
sudden opening of the connection per
mits a rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through the holes in the
pipe at the base of the walls scouring
out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away As the
tides at Liverpool average about 25 feet
or more it is evident that this simple
form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest it does not
interfere with the regular use of the
docks Ultimately no doubt the in
troduction of practical and economical
forms of power storage will render the
equalization of tide power commercial
ly practicable but at the present time
this example serves to demonstrate the
fact that solar and lunar attraction
as expressed by the tides have been
harnessed in a small way at least

Falling Walls at Fire
There are several kinds of
Baww
falling
walls and the fireman of experi
ence knows them well and what to ex
pect from each There is one kind that
breaks first at the bottom and comes
down almost straight somewhat like a
curtain This makes a big noise but
is not very much to be dreaded Then
there is another that bulges or buckles
in the middle at first and makes a sort
of curve as it descends This is a little
more serious than the first and has
caused many fatalities Then there Is
the one that breaks at the bottom and
comes straight out reaching clear
across the street and remaining almost
solid until it strikes and as an old fire
man once remarked Thats the kind
you want to dodge This kind of fall
ing wall has caused more of the deaths
in the department than any other
danger the firemen have to contend
with It has killed horses as well us
men and destrojed apparatus and it
is so rapid in its descent and covers so
much space that to escape it the men
have to be quick indeed Charles T

UNCLE SAMS FORETHOUGHT
Oflicials Slaking Ready to Ohserve
the Suns Total Eclipse in 190O
The United States government is
already preparing to take observations
of the total eclipse of the sun which
is to take place on May 28 1900
Observation stations will be estab
lished along the path of the total eclipse
and experienced astronomers in the
service of the government will be sent
down to take the olbservations and
make the astronomical calculations
which it is expected will be so valuable
to science and to astronomy
These observations will be for the
purpose of determining the best points
at which to establish the permanent
stations where the final observations
will be taken during the eclipse of lQOOs
The path of the total eclipse will ex
tend in a direct line from JSew Orleans
to Norfolk Va and will pass through
Georgia in the locality of Macon
Blank report sheets have been sent
to all the weather bureaus in the vicini
ty of the path of the eclipse with the
instruction to the weather man to se
cure the services of capable and in
telligent men to take the observations
and register the results in the sheets
made for the purpose The exact con
dition of the sky of the sun and of the
whole heavens will be marked down
in the sheets every morning of the
month when the observations are being
taken and all of the sheets when filled
out will Toe sent to Washington and
carefully graded The permanent ob-
servation stations will be established
at the points where the first observa
tions taken receive the highest percent

Human Hair Growths
Prof Exner of the Vienna Medical
society treating of the functions of the
human hair remarks upon the some
what curious fact that writers have
hitheito occupied themselves mainly
with speculations as to the circum
stances which have led to man becom
ing denuded of his hairy covering tho
hairs however being not only degen
erated organs but having also to ful
fill some functions There is a group
says the professor such as the eye
lashes and the eyebrows for instance
which are sensorial organs possessing
tactile functions and moreover serve
as a protection to the eyes and in
places where two integumentary sur
faces are in contact they act as rollers
and facilitate the gliding of the inte
gumentary surfaces on each other
Further there is no doubt that the hair
of the scalp protects the head against
external cold and also prevents the loss
of heat through very low conductivity

of air intermingled with them Chi
